Since I arrived at CNN, it has grown into one of the largest and most trusted news organizations in the world.
Our mandatory training continues and is in addition to the discreet use of security advisors and armored cars when circumstances warrant.
We are committed to maintaining the world's respect while, at the same time, growing our business across our multiple platforms.
We are in the fortunate position of being able to share our substantial news-gathering costs among several different U.S. and international networks.
We're going to try to create some programs that are going to generate viewer interest and appointment viewing. We still will have news on Headline News.
Technology has saved us money in some circumstances, but it has really afforded us the ability to cover stories from locations we might not have been able to in the past.
CNN was one of the first news organizations in the world to train and equip its journalists before deploying them to dangerous areas.
CNN can still afford 36 bureaus around the world.
At CNN, we are only in the business of finding and reporting the news. As for the pressure to deliver ratings, our viewership is up.
At CNN, our view is that good journalism equals good business.
In Iraq, embedding allows us to put reporters in situations that would otherwise be too dangerous for them.
I'm not trying to be coy here; we're just not prepared to give a lot of detail about our thinking, but we will be making some announcements in the coming months.
I can't think of a time that the U.S. government asked us or instructed us not to report or air something.
I believe our editorial decisions reflected our constant desire to make sure that we fully cover and analyze any issue and give our viewers all the information they need.
